EQUITAS ACADEMY 4

Equitas Academy 4 is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 76 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 4 teachers, Equitas Academy 4 has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Equitas Academy 4 is a tuition-free, public charter elementary school located in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles. As part of the Equitas Academy network, the school is founded on the mission of providing a rigorous college-preparatory education to students in underserved communities.

The school is defined by its core values—often summarized by the "Equitas Approach"—which prioritize discipline, academic excellence, and a supportive community environment. By maintaining a structured classroom setting and focusing on foundational literacy and mathematics, Equitas Academy 4 seeks to close the achievement gap and provide its scholars with the tools to become successful, contributing members of their community.
